Greek pig farms have been struggling due to the pandemic and the spread of swine fever in Germany, leading to a decrease in pork production and market congestion in Europe. This has resulted in historically low pork prices in the first months of 2021. However, as the market begins to decongest and global demand exceeds supply, there is optimism for the pork industry. Biogas investments and plans for reinvestment and renewal of units are being developed in Greece. Spain's pork industry has been successful despite the European sluggishness, with good contracts and spatial distance from the plague front. The president of the New Federation of Greek Pig Associations remains hopeful for the market, citing high international pork prices and future contracts, and anticipates the opening of European restaurants to provide the first real impetus to the market.
